Module file was created by an older version of the compiler

Using Carthage to manage my dependencies, everything runs fine in the simulator.

However, when building for a device I get the following error:

enter image description here

Module File was created by an older version of the compiler; rebuild Alamofire and try again: .../DerivedData/Build/Products/Debug-iPhones...

I have tried what others suggested to similar issues: deleting my derived data, reinstalling Carthage and rebuilding the frameworks. However, the error has been persistent.

Solution

  • Are you using the right version of xcodebuild? What do you see when you run xcode-select -p? It should be pointed at Xcode 7 if you want to use the frameworks in Xcode 7.

    Remove all the derive data rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ && carthage build

    Also, When you use carthage update without --no-use-binaries option then it downloads the pre built frameworks which may be built using the old version of xcodebuild.

    Alternative way is to use carthage update --no-use-binaries. This way it will compile all the frameworks with the latest Xcode build installed on your Mac.
